Hopefully this thread will let people express which characters they would like to see return to _All My Children_ and _One Life to Live_ before these shows end. Hopefully ABC will do its best to give these 2 stalwarts of daytime television the proper send off they deserve. OLTL Vicky and Dorian deserve one more scene each with the loves of their lives…So Mark Derwin and Stephen Markle should return as the ghosts of Ben Davidson and Mel Hayes respectively. Maybe the show can end with everyone around a dying Vicky, and when she passes, Mel comes to take her away and to let Dorian know she will be okay, and we end with Ben calling Vicky “Blondie” one last time… AMC Well this is much easier…Janet (from another planet) should return for one more reign of terror in Pine Valley. Adam and Brook should find out what really happend to Dixie, and bring her to reunite with Tad (Don’t tell me this can’t happend cause we saw here angel…we saw Jesse’s years ago, and it turned out he was in witness relocation) and if we arte gonna bring ghost back to life, maybe bring Ryans first “true love…‘I will never love anyone like i loved you’” back…Gillian ok people lets hear from you ---

A cameo by Sarah Gellar as someone giving Kendall a hard time would be funny. But I wouldn’t remember to watch it anyway. ---

Joe and Ruth Martin had a son Bobby, who went upstairs to get his skis in 1974 and hasn’t been seen or heard from since. He should come down the stairs with them for the final scene.
